Republicans are for the Rich?

Posted on 01/04/2005 5:00:55 PM PST by LauraleeBraswell

Has anyone else noticed that the Leftists have backed off with that inane notion that the “Republicans are for the rich?” Now it’s “Republicans are for the stupid.” The myth that the Republican Party stands for the interests of an elitist upper class was finally expelled this past election when the states at the lower end of the economics spectrum went Republican. But of course we are damned even if we don’t. Today a fellow told me that, “The states that voted for Bush were also polled to be the states with the lowest IQs.” And I would just as soon have discarded it among the other improvable “un-facts” that people tend to drop here and there if it wasn’t such a widespread (and I think lasting) sentiment here in the Blue. The Republican Party is now the party of the “Ignorant Tractor Riding redneck Hicks.” That rationale being, that if you are poor you must be stupid. How a party could take a complete 180 degree turn around from the “The Party of Rich ” to “The Party of the Ignorant” in just two months after an election is mind boggling not to mention damn near impossible. Back in their heyday when the Democrats could count on carrying the Southern vote they were the party of “the common man.” Now the common man just isn’t intelligent enough to know how to vote. Why am I not surprised?

Precisely. The Rats have two natural constituencies: the bums and the creeps. While the creeps (or at least many of them) have to be more or less smart as a necessary prerequisite for their creepery, this does not applies to bums. Hence it necessarily follows that the Rat average IQ suffers from a significant drag.

The Dims are anti-Christian, so they lose my vote there...they're anti-US in their foreign policy, so they lose my vote there...they're pro-taxation, so they lose my vote there...they encourage devisive race relations, so they lose my vote there...should I continue???

If the Dims ever did stand for the little guy, they haven't done so in quite some time. They are now the party of special interests, all of them inimical against me. Vote Dem? Hell, no!!!

Professors vs CEOs
Industrial Scientists vs Acedmics.
